Definitions

  • the disclosure relates to a pin, more particularly to a pull-out pin that is adapted to be removably inserted into two objects and couple the objects to each other.
  • a pin is a component commonly used in the industrial field, and has different structures and sizes according to different requirements.
  • a pull-out pin is used for coupling at least two objects together with each of the objects having a pin hole for insertion of the pull-out pin thereinto.
  • the objects may be mold bases or machine parts that need to be fixed at specific relative positions.
  • the pull-out pin may be used for installing an engine in a vehicle.
  • the pull-out pin has a diameter slightly larger than that of the pin holes of the objects, and is formed with an operating hole extending along a central axis thereof.
  • a user needs to register the pin holes of the objects with each other, then tightly insert the pull-out pin into the registered pin holes for coupling the objects to each other.
  • the user When separating the objects from each other, the user needs to insert a tool into the operating hole and turn the tool to remove the pull-out pin from the objects.
  • DE 959 337 discloses a bushing for insertion under a press fit into a hole.
  • the pull-out pin can be modified to be formed with a vent passage that permits the air to flow out therethrough.
  • the objects coupled by the pull-out pin usually have adhesive substances accumulated inside the pin holes, such as grease.
  • an object of the disclosure is to provide a pull-out pin that can alleviate the drawback associated with the prior art.
  • a pull-out pin as defined by claim 1 is provided and adapted to couple first and second objects to each other.
  • Each of the first and second objects is formed with a pinhole.
  • the pull-out pin is adapted to be removably and tightly inserted through the pin hole of the first object and into the pin hole of the second object.
  • the pull-out pin includes a first end surface, a second end surface spaced apart from the first end surface, and an outer surrounding surface connected between the first and the second end surfaces and surrounding a central axis.
  • the outer surrounding surface has a recessed surface portion that defines a vent groove extending from the first end surface in a direction toward the second end surface, and a helical groove that extends helically about the central axis from the first end surface toward the second end surface, and that intersects the vent groove.
  • a first embodiment of a pull-out pin 1 is adapted to couple together a first object 21 and a second object 22.
  • the first object 21 has a first hole-defining surface 212 defining a first pin hole 211.
  • the second object 22 has a second hole-defining surface 222 defining a second pin hole 221.
  • the first pin hole 211 is a through hole, while the second pin hole 221 is a blind hole.
  • the pull-out pin 1 has a cylindrical shape, and has a central axis 10 (see Figure 3 ).
  • the pull-out pin 1 has a first end surface 11, a second end surface 12 spaced apart from the first end surface 11 along the central axis 10, and an outer surrounding surface 13 connected between the first end surface 11 and the second end surface 12, and surrounding the central axis 10.
  • the pull-out pin 1 has a diameter slightly larger than that of the first and the second pin holes 211, 221, so that the pull-out pin 1 can be tightly inserted through the first pin hole 211 into the second pin hole 221.
  • the first end surface 11 is adapted to be disposed in the first pin hole 211 of the first object 21, and the second end surface is adapted to be disposed in the second pin hole 221 of the second object 22.
  • the pull-out pin 1 After the pull-out pin 1 is inserted through the first pin hole 211 into the second pin hole 221, the first end surface 11 is flush with an end surface that is formed with the first pin hole 211.
  • the pull-out pin 1 further has an operating hole 14 extending from the first end surface 11 along the central axis 10, and having an open end 141 formed at the first end surface 11.
  • the outer surrounding surface 13 of the pull-out pin 1 has a recessed surface portion 131, a connecting surface portion 132, a frustoconical surface portion 133 and a helical groove 134.
  • the recessed surface portion 131 defines a vent groove extending from the first end surface 11 in a direction toward the second end surface 12.
  • the connecting surface portion 132 extends from the first end surface 11 toward the second end surface 12, and is connected to opposite lateral sides of the recessed surface portion 131.
  • the frustoconical surface portion 133 is disposed between the connecting surface portion 132 and the second end surface 12, and is connected to opposite lateral sides of the recessed surface portion 131.
  • the frustoconcical surface portion 131 gradually converges toward the second end surface 12.
  • the helical groove 134 extends helically about the central axis 10 from the first end surface 11 toward the second end surface 12, and intersects the vent groove.
  • the helical groove has a first groove opening 135 formed at the first end surface 11, a second groove opening 136 formed at the second end surface 12, and a plurality of shallow groove portions 137 disposed between the first groove opening 135 and the second groove opening 136, and intersecting the vent groove.
  • the helical groove 134 has a maximum depth (D1) (see Figure 4 ) larger than a maximum depth (D2) (see Figure 2 ) of the vent groove.
  • the maximum depth (D2) is a maximum distance between the recessed surface portion 131 of the outer surrounding surface 13 and the first and second hole-defining surfaces 212, 222.
  • the maximum depth (D1) is 0.5 millimeters, and a width (W) (see Figure 4 ) of the helical groove 134 is 1.0 millimeter.
  • the maximum depth (D2) of the vent groove is 0.13 ⁇ 0.02 millimeters.
  • the recessed surface portion 131 cooperates with the first and the second inner surfaces 212, 222 to define a vent passage 138 (see Figure 3 ) that communicates with the helical groove 134.
  • the structural design of the helical groove 134 and the vent passage 138 ensures that the air in the first and second pin holes 211, 221 can be expelled out of the first and second pin holes 211, 221, and that the pull-out pin 1 can be smoothly inserted into the first and second pin holes 211, 221.
  • the air can change route via the shallow groove portions 137 to flow out of the first and second pin holes 211, 221.
  • a user When removing the pull-out pin 1 from the first and second objects 21, 22, a user need only insert a tool (not shown) into the operating hole 14 from the open end 141 and rotate the tool to drive rotation of the pull-out pin 1 about the central axis 10, and at the same time, pull the pull-out pin 1 out of the first and second pin holes 211, 221.
  • the second embodiment of the pull-out pin 1 has a structure similar to that of the first embodiment, except that the second end surface 12 has a curved surface protruding away from the first end surface 11.
  • the frustoconical surface portion 133 of the outer surrounding surface 13 has a width along the central axis 10 and a slope larger than those of the frustoconical surface portion 133 illustrated in the first embodiment.
  • the recessed surface portion 131 extends from the first end surface 11 to the frustoconical surface portion 133 instead of the second end surface 12, so that the air inside the second pin hole 221 can still flow into the vent passage 138 via the gap between the frustoconical surface portion 133.
